 The "Council of Directors" sent a mission to Iași (the temporary capital of Romania) to ask the Entente for military help against the Bolsheviks.The Entente unsuccessfully sent some Serbian and Czechoslovakian troops, but some squads of Romanian Transylvanians and Bukovinans, organized in Kiev, were sent to Bessarabia, and they resisted the Bolsheviks at the Chișinău train station.The hardest work for the new Republic was the armed forces, the need for which was imminent.
